Phish Bring ‘Evolve,’ and a Goofy Aerosmith Parody Cover to ‘Tonight Show’

Phish hit up 'The Tonight Show' to perform "Evolve" and sing a parody cover of Aerosmith's "Love In an Elevator" with Jimmy Fallon and the Roots.

Phish swam over to The Tonight Show Thursday to perform the title track from their new album Evolve, and even cover a bit of Aerosmith. The singing was briefly suspended when some suit got on, but after he departed on another floor, Phish, Fallon, and the Roots let out one big, goofy, final hook before casually disembarking. Phish returned later to perform “Evolve,” slipping in a few jammy solos where the time constraints of late-night TV allowed, but otherwise once again showing off their sublime harmonies: “First came the light, then came the sound,” Trey Anastasio and co. sang, “Then came the worlds that can never slow down/Then came the people with problems and hope/That don’t mean a thing, if they just knew the scope.”
